Oh goodness. Another carbonaceous bandit!

I spent a couple months this fall picking up leaves from my entire neighborhood. I think my record was 86 bags in one day using the wife's mini van. I think we gathered a total of about 200 bags, only 21 from our own property. Many were mulched with the mower and put into compost piles which will be spread out where they are to add to the soil in those spots. Some was used a smulch, and the rest will be used throughout the year as bedding in the chicken coop and run. I think I've added a bag a week since August and they've turned it into five or six inches of soil in their run. I'm not sure yet if I'll harvest this or relocate the run and make the current run area into a new garden bed...

I love me some leaves.
